A dated kitchen torn out and rebuilt with white shaker cabinets, a quartz island with seating, and new lighting.

We protected the appliances and the rest of the house, tore out the old cabinets and soffits, and rebuilt the kitchen around a new island. The finished kitchen has white shaker cabinets, a quartz island with seating for three, a stainless range hood, pendant lights, recessed lighting, and wood-look plank flooring.

Why kitchens like this get remodeled

A lot of kitchens in southern New Hampshire still have the cabinets, counters, and layout they were built with. They were fine for their time, but storage runs short, the counters get crowded, and walls often close the kitchen off from the rest of the house. A remodel like this one changes more than the finishes. It changes how the whole first floor works, every day.
